I accidentally upvoted this trite comment, but Ian Sommerville has earned the right to pen an "X Considered Harmful" article: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ian_Sommerville_(academic) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ian_Sommerville_(academic) Ok, sure, we have all avoided his works because they're a pain to read, but he is someone you would expect to get along with the ACM as they needlessly peddled his and his peers' "methodologies". [Edit: Seriously, in the last few days I had to step in an introduce no less than Matt Welsh and Rob Pike to HN, now Sommerville. HN's aversion to book-learnin' is surely paying off.]
